Well, you seem to have a strong grasp of things, and your explanation of your year in bioinformatics was well written. Maybe you should do something like what Kaufman is doing.
If you get to the point of disproving virus theory, you may find yourself interested in applying the same research and analysis to germ theory, which means moving on to questioning bacteria and fungi as causative pathogens. Although true that these organisms are easily isolated, the rigorous testing for causality is not there. Only honest researchers who understand what the scientific method is constructed upon allow themselves to grasp the utterly disqualifying fact of this lack of causative evidence. Most scientists don't seem to know that Pasteur was a charlatan. This is where Terrain Theory starts to prove itself a worthwhile working theory as it becomes apparent that pathogen causation has not been proven. Some microbes do create metabolic byproducts that are toxic to us or cause inflammation, even benign ones if they are forced into anaerobic metabolism. But such pathogenic action is only indirect and results from a toxin, not the "aggressive" attacking nature ascribed to microbes. In other words, they are not actually out to get us. Pretty much all disease, therefore, can be ascribed to either trauma, toxicity, malnutrition, mental trauma, or parasites. Microbes for the most part only assist in the healing process, and when they contribute to toxic shock it is usually because the injury is so traumatic that it facilitates too much bacterial growth that introduces unsustainable levels of their metabolic toxin. But microbes should not be interpreted as infective agents of disease. They show up to assist when disease is already present, and sometimes this healing process gets out of control when the injury is severe enough (i.e. septicemia and/or excessive inflammation).
